Vittorio Scardaci si laurea in Chimica Industriale all'Università degli Studi di Catania nel Luglio 2004 con voti 110/110 e lode. Nell'Ottobre dello stesso anno inizia un PhD alla University of Cambridge, Department of Engineering, che viene conferito nel Febbraio 2009. Durante quessto periodo si occupa principalmente dello sviluppo di materiali compositi a base di nanotubi di Carbonio per applicazioni in dispositivi fotonici. Si occupa inoltre di dispersione in fase liquida di nanomateriali a base di Carbonio e della loro caratterizzazione spettroscopica, in particolare Raman, assorbimento e fotoluminescenza. Nel Febbraio 2008 inizia a lavorare per la Hewlett-Packard in Irlanda, dove si occupa fino al 2012 dello sviluppo di conduttori trasparenti e sensori basati su network di nanomateriali, principalmente nanotubi di Carbonio e nanofili metallici. Tali progetti di ricerca sono svolti nell'ambito di una partnership con il Trinity College Dublin, finanziata da Science Foundation Ireland (SFI). Dal 2013 si occupa di progetti nell'ambito della tecnologia Inkjet, centrati sulla compatibilità di materiali, sia nuovi che esistenti, con inchiostri, sia nuovi che esistenti. Nell'Ottobre 2018 consegue un Diploma in Medical Device Science da parte della National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway col massimo dei voti (1st degree) e sempre dal 1 Ottobre 2018 è Ricercatore a tempo determinato (RTD-A) al Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche dell'Università degli studi di Catania. La sua attività di ricerca ha prodotto oltre 50 papers pubblicati su riviste internazionali, un h-index di 27 e oltre 22000 citazioni. E' inoltre co-inventore di 2 brevetti e co-autore di un capitolo di libro. Nel Dicembre 2023 consegue l'Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale (ASN) alle funzioni di professore di II fascia per il settore concorsuale 03/A2 - Chimica Fisica
